Yeah I see there still registering and once they figure it out they'll be a lot more. The only way of stopping them would be by changing the New accounts activation system to Administration approval. That means you would need an Admin here to approve new membership registration daily before there allowed to enter the forum to do anything at all.

That's not so bad. New registrants can still read until approved right?

A small price to pay.

Most forums that have this kind of problem go with the Administrative approval system. Generally speaking you only have to regulate the system that way for a few months. Once you let them know that they can no longer register without Administrative Approval they'll stop trying. The Problem is that most administrators don't understand that there dealing with hackers and if there good there isn't anything thing they can't get around.
